The Jayhawks
Children of the Woods
[Verse 1]
My dreams are all dead and buried
Sometimes I wish the sun would just explode
Inside the matchsticks, rocks is a token
Of all that we ever used to know

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Our house may just wash down the river
Must [?]
Our guardian is a table for all seasons
The seasons bring me joy
We've got the sunrise here

[Chorus]
Children of the woods
Children of the woods
Children of the woods
Your heart becomes the lumberyard
Where pleasant homes are built

[Verse 2]
An emblem of our life of comfort
Of sadness that stalks our very souls
Beneath us is a dark and hurried water
If we fall in, we'll make sure that we float
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Catastrophic freedom is my calling
We find it in a forest full of weeds
Poisons [?] our memories
A sacred place denied
Those of unbelief

[Chorus]
Children of the woods
Children of the woods
Children of the woods
Your heart becomes the lumberyard
Where pleasant homes are built

[Guitar Solo]
